Step 1: Get a backyard. Step 2: Get this pool. Step 3: Save the world.

After watching the video for this “Hidden Water Pool,” my desire for a home with a big backyard is at an all-time high.

I mean, come on — look at how awesome this thing is:

Not only does it look cool when it’s opening and closing, but imagine the fun you could have by setting up a hammock right in the middle of the circular staging area (when it’s closed, of course), waiting until someone falls asleep in it, and then opening up the pool. That prank would never get old.

Also, before the pool is filled with water (or even after it’s filled), I’d want at least one video of myself rising from the depths while wearing a Batman costume.
